His arms in tremors
As he embraces only nights air
Their strong stature staging
Regets of his relenting release of tranquility.

His hands in denial
Clutching only the darkness of twilight
Their grasping grip growing
Disdained due to dwendling sensation of her skin.

His fingertips in whispering withdrawals
Feeling only faint flashes of previous passion
Their tender touch trembling
Desperately desiring once more her flaming flesh.
